Unexpected Something

A call

Next morning, Arien woke up after a good night sleep.

She felt fresh and twisted before sitting up. She then turned around only to know the person who should be lying next to her was nowhere to be seen.

She stood up lazily, "hmm..my leg is much better!"

She walked into the bathroom to brush and then went out with her messy morning hair and slightly crumpled clothes and saw Devian entering the house with some bags.

Arien came down lifting her hand to tidy her long shiny hair and made a bun then walked to him asking, "Where have you been early morning?"

Devian looked at her and felt happy with their casual yet intimate interaction. Ever since he had been with her, he had seen her being very formal.

Ever since he was young he stayed alone and then, for managing the business, he had to stay away form his family anyways.

But today it felt like home with his wife around, seeing her when he wakes up and before going to sleep. He had someone waiting for him at home.

He looked at her casual look with a smile before saying, "Are you having doubts at your husband?" He reached out to rub her head.

"If you won't tell me I'll have my doubts on you." Arien made a cute face.

"I went to buy groceries" he reach to pinch her nose but his hand was slapped away.

"Really? Am I dreaming?" Arien pinched herself.

How can this man really go to the supermarket to buy something? As much as she knew he would ask a servant or someone to do it for him.

Devian's smile widened seeing her childish act.

Arien herself laughed. The sun was shining brightly lighting up the whole house and fell on her petite body making her look like an angel, a blooming flower.

Be it her hair or her eyes, he lost his senses whenever he sees her.

He looked at her for a while before pulling her in his arms and kissing her lips.

The sun shine perfectly fell on the two lovers through the window, making the beautiful moment even more warm and passionate.

Perhaps it was the fact that the man had helped her or because he treated her so well that Arien felt closer to Devian.

Her body was no longer stiff at his touch and she unintentionally pulled him closer to her body.

He held the back of her head deepening his kiss, letting Arien wrap her arms around his neck.

Her softness and eagerness ignited Devian's inner desire and his hand started wandering from her head to her back, waist and down.

Suddenly Arien felt the change in his body and pushed him.

"Devian... No..." She said.

Devian stopped but he still held her waist. "I won't" he said lowering his hear and planting a kiss on her forehead. "As long as you're not willing, I won't." He added.

Arien head was lowered and her face was flushed red face as she said slowly, "I... I'll go cook something"

She took the bag from him and ran to the kitchen. Devian stood there leaning at the door quietly looking at the busy body in the kitchen with his arms folded.

After a while, he went over and hugged her from behind.

"Day after there's a banquet by one of my friends." He said. "I want you to accompany me" he added.

Arien's face was still crimson from embarrassment. She only whispered the word "okay"

Devian rested his chin on the crook of her neck giving her shivers down the spine.

"Mr Lyle" Arien said, "You want to eat or not?"

Arien was talking about food but Devian intentionally bit her earlobe saying, "Yes, how about this?"

"Then let me cook" Arien turned around and pushed him.

This woman! Was she really so stupid or was playing dumb? Devian thought.

"I was eating." He smiled evilly.

Arien now understood what he meant and turned back hiding her tomato colored face.

"Breakfast would be ready shortly. Go and sit in the living room." Arien said. Her voice turned to whispers due to shyness.

"Okay, I'm in the study" Devian said and turned around to leave.

In the study Devian's phone rang.

"Director, it was Madonna who made all the fuss. We found that they were following Mrs Lyle from the security footage. She along with the colleagues who insulted Mrs Lyle are fired." Dean reported.

"Okay." Came Devian's usual stern reply.

"Nicole had been working for Roger Willis, Robert's elder brother. He wants Mrs Lyle dead to avoid any problems with the Jenner family's property and business. There is no further information about this man that we could access." Dean kept on reporting.

"Anything else?" But Devian had already figured this out.

"Director, We have got the information that Nicole was connected to Robert. But we are unable to find any strong evidence about this"

"Okay" Devian had a cold smile in his eyes.

But what was the connection between her and Robert?

Devian heard the knock and Arien slightly pushed open the door of the study.

Devian looked at her.

"Time to eat" she said.

"I'll just come." Devian said and attended the call.

Arien walked back and waited for him.

Suddenly her phone rang.

"Hello?" Seeing an unknown number she hesitated then answered it.

But she didn't get any reply after waiting for a long while.

"Who's that?" She asked again but the other end was still silent.

She thought that it might be a wrong number and hung up the phone.

Devian came over and sat opposite to her. Arien placed the food in his bowl.

They ate quietly. After eating some food she lifted her head only to see that Devian had already eaten and was looking at her.

Arien raised her hand and wiped the corner of her but mouth there was nothing.

"Why are you looking like that?" She asked.

"I'm just looking at my wife" Devian's answer was normal but Arien blushed.

"I'll go, get ready for work" she got up and kept the dishes in the kitchen then ran to her room.

Devian smiled at her silly behavior.

In her room her phone rang again. Seeing the same unknown number decided to ignore it but there was one call then another. She picked up after it was already 5 calls, "who's this?" She asked.

Just like the last time there was silence on the other end.

Arien didn't say anything further and hung up the phone.

But there was another call again.

She was annoyed "I'm warning you if you call again it won't be good for you!" She picked the call and warned.

"Arien it's me." a male voice came from the receiver.
